Well, the sickness junk resulted in a big, fatty taper this week. I was actually nauseous last Thursday night and Friday, and then some congestion kicked in on Wednesday. I figured it was just allergies, and by Friday, Cliff and I were pretty miserable (but still managed to drink and watch one of our favorite cover bands perform). I finally went to Care Now (urgent care) today, and I tested positive for the flu. I would have never guessed I had the flu, but the nurse encouraged me to take the test (a nasal swab) because a lot of patients had cold and sinus symptoms but actually had the flu. So I guess it's going around in full force today. The lady who checked me out (that sounds a lot more exciting than it really was) at Walmart said that 10 people called in sick today. Fortunately I can work from home all week (the Steelers are staying in Downtown Fort Worth and practicing at TCU, so the traffic and road closures will be a bear), so I am looking forward to sitting in front of the laptop and wearing my PJs tomorrow while I go through a whole box of Kleenex. At least my recap will me short and sweet!

Run #2 (Wednesday afternoon): 5.50 miles @ 9:16/mile (50:59); Downtown/Trinity Trail; I eased up on the pace a bit, enjoyed the weather, and had a great lunch run!
